Emma Wren Gibson was frozen as an embryo in 1992 and born in 2017.

Her mother, Tina Gibson, was born in 1991, making the embryo only about a year younger than Tina herself. Emma's birth set a record for the longest-frozen embryo to result in a successful birth at that time, having been frozen for 24 years.

During the ’50s and ’60s, s*x on TV was an absolute no-no. Alluding to it in any way, shape, or form was frowned upon and not really allowed. This included being pregnant on-screen because the only way you get pregnant is by doing the deed. Lucy, of course, did not care about these unspoken rules in the slightest. When she became pregnant, she did what no one before her had done and wrote the pregnancy into the script. This would make I Love Lucy the first American show to have a lead actress being shown while pregnant. Turns out, Lucy made the right decision. Because the episode “Lucy Goes to the Hospital” was viewed by over 70 percent of households in the country. The episode aired the same day that Lucille Ball gave birth to her son, Desi Arnaz Jr.
